It's really great to see musicians having such an interest in worthy causes. Despite what many GnR fans might say about his playing there is no doubt he's a really great guy.

moveon.org is not about enlightenment, it is a site for character assasination by the left.

Haha you know I was just about to comment on how its great that Robin is not involved in partisan politics as I feel too many artists are too vocal about it today... then I read your post and visited the site and the headline is "Oppose Congressional Republicans' plan to respond to Hurricane Katrina by cutting nealry a trillion dollars from vital national services".  Oh well....

Do you guys have to turn this into another Conservative v Liberal thread? we already have enough of them. I'll be the first to admit that I do frequent such threads, but this is about Robin Finck's website, not Liberal websites.
